Man this is a one pony beer! Looks ok in the glass. Kind of murky but not too bad. Resinous head, very lacey. Nose is out of this world man. I love floraly IPA and this guy meets the freaking mark. Flowers go on and on and on. Malts are sweet smelling with a bit of a spicey bitter kick but all in all man the nose on this one is where its at. Flavor
THis is definitly one hell of a beer. Hoppy as hell with tons of bitterness. Also seems to have a somewhat syrupy sweetness in the background. While certainly a respectable beer, i cant really see myself buying it again. Flavor is almsot too intense too truly enjoy all the way through, so it ends up wearin on you near the end.
Bottle, thanks rlb for sharing. Aroma was very piney a light wheat background. Pour was a amberish hue. Flavor was good, sweet at first but the hops really battled back. Palate was ok but the bitter tinny finish left you wondering. Overall ok.
